Signs You're In For a Short Flight

[Maxed-Rockets]

603: When Jeb is screaming even though the launch is going according to plan.

[Bluejayek]

604)When your rocket starts to rotate so wildly that your outer stage engines flex and break off.

605) When your preferred method of takeoff is attached horizontal rockets to wings and making your entire craft spin on a top like a helicopter rotor.

[Vostok]

606. When you have to leave ASAS off on launch to manually steer the rocket past the tower.

[wildkittyv1]

607. When one of your wings gets clipped off during takeoff of an already unwieldy aircraft, but all three pilots have a giant grin on their face, oblivious of their impending doom.

(Note: SAS actually kept the Minnow flying, but it was basically a large firework when I turned it off. Later versions of the Minnow corrected lift-off issues and it now flies, albeit difficultly.)

[Trekkin]

608. When you suddenly realize fuel lines go the other way.

[MaxMurder]

609) When everything is going too perfectly.

[invalid8]

610. When your liquid stage fails to fire... because you forgot to throttle up on the pad.

611. When your rocket tips smoothly into orbit... with ASAS on.

[Mrmisquito]

612. When you hear the explosion before the game loads.

613. When you are launching a plane and see parts of your other planes on the runway.

[Guilliman]

614. When you added so many gizmos and scientific parts from mods the lag before launch causes your altitute meter to stop functioning..

[Tremzack]

615: When Your Too Busy Watching The Developer\'s Fourm To Fly Your Plane.

[aksentti]

616: when your parachute lands before you and explodes on impact

[Maxed-Rockets]

617: When your craft relies on the thrust of your current stage to knock the previous stage away.

[Extraneous]

618: When you realize you left the engines on whilst you decoupled them, meaning the force has you stuck to the front end of a rocket you can no longer steer.

619: When all the effort from the first stage of your heavy lifter gets it a grand total of 17 metres off of the pad.

[hildegain]

548) When your second stage has the same number of engines as the first.

That\'s actually safe and doable if you know what you\'re doing.

620: When your ship wiggles while your EVA\'d kerbals are in close proximity. (has resulted in instant death)

[MaxMurder]

621) When Bill bails out of the ship just before touching down on the Mun.

[Alchemist]

622) When you order 'lander out of fuel! activate ascent stage and return to orbit!', but Jeb replies 'Then I\'ll land the ascent stage!'

[Felsmak]

623) When you realize that you forgot to install wing flaps on your space plane.

[Guard13007]

624) When you forgot to put control surfaces on your wings and you only notice at the end of the runway.

625) When your plane\'s wings start flapping.

626) When your shuttle is missing half of each wing immediately after takeoff.

627) When two of your crew bailout before takeoff.

628) When one of your crew on EVA explodes for no apparent reason.

[DayOne]

629) you install the mechjeb before it\'s been updated for 0.16 so activate it and it tilts a bit further than it should.

[Railsmith]

630) When your landers have to take you from suborbit all the way to the Mun and back.

...Actually I overbuild my landers so much this isn\'t a problem, but it is for those who like efficiency and all that.

631) When your bottom stage clips directly through the rest of your craft and the exhaust pulls every single part off of each other. Fun times.

[Dimitri_Kerman]

632) When the craft pilot exits the shuttle in mid launch forgetting to pack his space beard, and when Bob and Bill are left alone with the controls.

[Vanamonde]

633) 'Cool! My little guy is out of the spaceplane and on the runway! Um. How exactly does he get back into the plane now?'

Moral of the story: ladders are important!

[leopardenthusiast]

634) The stage that was meant to get you into orbit crushes your lander for no reason and then proceeds to break all 13 of your parachutes.

true story.

[Czman007]

635) When you forget to pack your jetpack before going on a spacewalk

[Railsmith]

That\'s actually safe and doable if you know what you\'re doing.

Not the way I do it...

636) When you rebuild a 0.15 design in 0.16 and only remember that the 909 engine is incredibly underpowered on your final munar approach. And you\'re using one of them to hold up a gigantic lander.
